SNAKE OIL: Cure Everything!

Are you getting sick yet of all those annoying SPAM ads? You delete them, block them, and filter them... yet every day it's still the same old stuff. You just keep getting more and more claims of miracle cures, and sure-fire programs. Well, today *I* got sick of it all. I decided to fight back in a way only a humorist with art talent can!

So, I present to you the product to end all products! That's right, it does EVERYTHING! And what's the secret? Why it's no secret at all... we've ALL heard of it before. It's sure-fire, guaranteed, no-risk, perfectly natural, highly nutritious, tastefully satisfying, genuine, bonafide, non-imitation, don't be mistaken, take no substitutes... SNAKE OIL!!!

That's right, and it's only available for a limited time, RIGHT NOW, through ME, and me only! And don't you want to know what it COSTS? Why, right now through this special offer, I'm presenting a free sample to you, and only YOU... absolutely FREE! That's right, you won't pay a dime! All you've got to do to receive this miracle wonder-drug is to pass on the ad to as many people as you can... and start living life with free spirits, and high hopes! Yes! You can do it! And SNAKE OIL can show you the way!

And just to show how ridiculous and pathetic the world we live in is, I've also included the ACTUAL ad that piqued me into this frenzy today. Obviously, Snake Oil is a joke... but what's shown below was sent to me as a SERIOUS product, and actually promises many of the things listed in the Snake Oil mockery. Everybody bow low, and hang your head in shame.
